Ha, yeah, BCGs. There's also Ranger/Airborne type BCGs, which strap onto your head (probably similar to the Xtreme ones mentioned before). Those would be even better.

I'll add that fencing masks don't usually have that problem.

I don't have any problems wearing my glasses inside my home made helmet, or a fencing mask. I have never tried a hocky mask, so I have no input there.

Yes, I used to fence I had no problems with a fencing mask and glasses.

I'll look into the bcgs or the extreme glasses thanks.
